This book begins with the analysis of America’s post-war intelligence operations, propaganda campaigns, and strategic psychological warfare in Japan. Banking on nuclear safety myths, Japan promoted an aggressive policy of locating and building nuclear power plants in depopulated areas suffering from a significant decline of local industries and economies. The Fukushima nuclear disaster substantiated that U.S. propaganda programs left a long lasting legacy in Japan and beyond and created the fertile ground for the future nuclear disaster. The book reveals Japan's tripartite organization of the dominating state, media-monopoly, and nuclear-plant oligarchy advancing nuclear proliferation. It details America’s unprecedented pro-nuclear propaganda campaigns; Japan’s secret ambitions to develop its own nuclear bombs; U.S. dumping of reprocessed plutonium on Japan; and the joint U.S.-Nippon propaganda campaigns for “safe” nuclear-power and the current “safe-nuclear particles” myths. The study shows how the bankruptcy of the central state has led to increased burdens on the population in post-nuclear tsunami era, and the ensuing dangerous ionization of the population now reaching into the future.

This book details the painful, torturous, and often unbelievable turn of events in the McMartin sexual molestation case. It offers a critical window on Salem by the Sea, revealing how civil society and the criminal justice system have mindlessly and brutally dealt with young children, their parents, defendants, and their families under the guise of pursuing justice and equity.

In A Century Passing, Richard Krooth examines one of the great entrepreneurs of the late 19th century, documenting his epic, egregious struggle to accumulate wealth and power, regardless of the toll in human misery and fiber. Andrew Carnegie had well positioned himself financially and came to exercise dominance in the 19th century steel industry. By careful planning to introduce the latest technical inventions, taking away the skills of his elite workers and impoverishing the rest, he pressured his labor force into the seminal strike at his Homestead works in 1892. The leaders of the Homestead's craft union responded militantly, going beyond the pale of union tradition. Victorious, Carnegie not only subserviated his labor force and made them fearful of losing their jobs, he initiated a new stage of "proletarianization" in his company-ruled towns, laying the foundation for keeping labor on tap over the next 100 years.

A Century Passing: Carnegie, Steel and the Fate of Homestead

GAIA shares the destiny of a living―and now suffering―Earth. ANIMA mundi, her myth embodies; it is the self-regulating and self-organizing flow of energy between the Sun and Moon and Earth's elemental surface and subterrain, oceans and atmosphere, together supporting the planet's species. ENERGY, the vibrant energy that surges through her biosphere is being blocked, though, coming under attack from our species' greed-driven promotion and acceptance of technology that unrelentingly destroys the conditions supporting and sustaining life. WEALTH accumulation in the name of progress is as if the legendary touch of Midas today transforms Earth's creations into lifeless forms, accelerating entropy and the global approach to disclimax. EXISTENCE itself is being pushed by our species towards the vanishing point. War over resources―food, oil, water, land―and fouling of the environment, pandemics, and technological nostrums hasten the day. FAILSAFE points have been passed: this study offers a broad, new look at the possibility that our planet has reached the final moment of no return.

This book describes the reasons humankind may be facing its last moments on Planet Earth. Darwin marked the path of species evolution, modification, and extinction. Following Darwin’s trajectory of evolution, the author reveals how human-made technologies have had a devastating impact on Earth’s biosphere, signaling the continuing disappearance of landscapes and the decline of species life.

Since the 16th century, Mexico has in many ways been held captive by outsiders. In the modern era, outsiders have most often made their impact through control of the Mexican economy and helping to establish a ruling elite while millions of ordinary citizens face abject poverty. With the advent of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Mexico's leadership predicted a new wave of economic progress in the country. However, a devaluation of the peso showed that the Mexican economy was as problematical as before. This work first examines the sociopolitical history of the country, and how the events of the past continue to influence the government's policies. Mexico's post-NAFTA future is then explored, with particular emphasis placed on how economic policy could evolve in a period of free trade. A 2013 postscript concludes the work.

Discusses race-conscious jury selection and highlights strategies for achieving racially mixed juries. Race in the Jury Box focuses on the racially unrepresentative jury as one of the remaining barriers to racial equality and a recurring source of controversy in American life. Because members of minority groups remain underrepresented on juries, various communities have tried race-conscious jury selection, termed “affirmative jury selection.” The authors argue that affirmative jury selection can insure fairness, verdict legitimization, and public confidence in the justice system. This book offers a critical analysis and systematic examination of possible applications of race-based jury selection, examining the public perception of these measures and their constitutionality. The authors make use of court cases, their own experiences as jury consultants, and jury research, as well as statistical surveys and analysis. The work concludes with the presentation of four strategies for affirmative jury selection.
